The Guitar’s rich history reflects not only its’ evolution as an instrument, but also its’ deep connection to cultural movements , social changes, and technological advancements. It remains one of the most beloved and versatile musical instruments in the world.
The Guitars’ ancestor can be traced back thousands of years. Instruments such as the lute, vihuela and the lyre laid the groundwork in Mesopotamia and the Middle East.
Today, the Guitar is integral to various genres including Classical, Classical Spanish, Jazz, Blues, Electric, Folk, and Acoustical. The Guitar has transcended borders influencing musical traditions worldwide from flamenco in Spain to rock in the USA. The Guitar gained immense popularity not only as a solo Instrument, but also in ensembles and orchestras.
The introduction of the Electric Guitar in the 1930s revolutionized music. The Electric Guitar became central to Rock-n-Roll with such icons as Chuck Berry and Eric Clapton.
Come to this program and enjoy the music of Vivaldi and apiece from a ‘Concert for George’ - George Harrisons’ farewell. There is plenty of diversity featuring great Jazz, some Blues, Acoustical and more beautiful Classical Spanish for your relaxation.
